A lot of videos but not any good pictures.

We where really limited on what we could take.

The main focus of the trip was backpacking the Kerry Way so if it did not fit into the backpacking scheme it stayed home.

No good camera, only 3 changes of clothes for the month!

Samantha loved the Pubs!

The drinking age over there is 18, but she also turned 21 on this trip in a little town in Ireland called Waterville.

The most amazing part of Ireland? The people!

People are generally nice the world over but the level of helpfulness and kindness shown by the Irish was AMAZING.

We were offered rides, folks made calls to find us places to stay, closed hotels opened to get us a room, simply amazing!

And of course, for Samantha, the animals. We are used to American livestock :lol:.

In Ireland the cows came up to the fences and we were able to pet them, Donkeys called out to us to pet them, we were mobbed by a herd of ponies, crazy fun!

I will post some videos in the near future.

Pubs have so much history, I love them too!

Now I know why Ireland is the fave country for both my Mom and another friend. I didn't realize the Irish were so special.

Way different then 'our' bars here in the states. Sure you can drink in them, but folks are just as likely there with there kids to eat.

We had several good meals in pubs, without any alcohol and we even rented a room above a pub for a couple of nights.
